Happy Thursday, folks, it's that time of week again where we take a look back at the last seven days on TheGamer, which have felt especially long and brutal with the rising temperatures. Global warming, eh?

This week has seen a range of different topics, including serious ones like the teabagging controversy that followed a recent Apex Legends tournament, the lack of interest from FIFA players in regards to women's matches, and Hasbro's disappointing treatment of Magic: The Gathering.

Beyond that, we've also got a heat-centric piece that'll hopefully give you a few ideas on how to cool off, or at least let you emphasise with characters who have it way worse than you. Finally, we've also got an interview with the New World developers, who talk about the upcoming Summer update and answer the question - should you reinstall New World?

Apex Legends T-Bagging

The Trouble With Teabagging

Earlier this week, Dilly was almost disqualified and permanently banned from an Apex Legends tournament ran by Fate Legion for teabagging his own tournament, leading to other prominent Apex players speaking about the issue. In response, TheGamer's editor-in-chief Stacey Henley discussed what teabagging actually is, what it actually means, how it can be different depending on the context and gender of the player teabagging or being teabagged, and how the esports world currently isn't a level playing field for women like it is for men.

Fewer Than Four Percent Of FIFA 22 Players Have Played A Women's Match

While EA goes ahead with revealing what FIFA 23 is going to be all about, features editor Ben Sledge has taken a look back at one of the biggest missed opportunities of FIFA 22 - women's matches.

Hasbro Needs To Respect Magic: The Gathering Way More

Finally, TheGamer's own MTG expert and tabletop editor Joe Parlock talks about Hasbro's treatment of Magic: The Gathering and how, despite accounting for approximately 70-80 percent of Wizards of the Coast’s revenue, it doesn't nearly get enough respect from Hasbro. With such clear success and a passionate community behind it, Joe questions why Hasbo isn't doing more with it and why he feels like it's still being viewed as the "nerdier, more obscure Dandy to D&D’s Beano".
